Google's dedicated YouTube app now in the App Store

Since with the iOS 6 Beta 4, Apple has removed the native YouTube app, which could be quite troublesome for some and have to use the browser to navigate through YouTube.

Some browsers, like the Google's Chrome and Apple's Safari, does not really support full-screen support. The new YouTube app, is now able to be in full screen when you rotate the iPhone, which is a thumbs-up.

You can now 'Like', 'Dislike' and 'Share' at the same time. With 'Sharing', you are able to Google+, Twitter, Facebook, Email and you are able to Message now.

Some dislikes like, there is no toggle for the resolution for the videos playing. Sometimes when your Wi-Fi network may have a slow down, your video is going to buffer for a long time before it can be played.

However, this YouTube App only supports for iPhone and iPod. The iPad version will be coming out in the months (soon). You can still download this as an iPhone app. The video resolution, isn't that too bad.

Overall, a nice UI and user experience for all to try it out.

If you are on iOS 6, it is all the more that you should download it to enjoy the YouTube experience.If you are on iOS 5, why don't you try it out before iOS 6 hits the iPhone soon.

I have been browsing almost everyday in waiting for a new and cool app to magical appear on the App Store.

However, the trend of fake apps starts to appear again. Previously, we had 'Pokemon Yellow' and 'Counter Strike'.

Now, these kind of apps have appeared again and I find that Apple and the App Store should be serious about these kind of apps and monitor low-rating apps.

For the Microsoft® Office® 2010 - Mastering in 24h™ app, it was used to be $49.99 before the price became $0.99. (If I am not wrong).

Apple App Store - Some New Features: Editor's Choice, App of the Week

With over 600,000 applications on offer in the iOS App Store, Apple has found itself facing a growing problem of how to help users discover new software. The Cupertino, Calif., iPhone maker has recently put a pair of changes into effect to address the problem.

Both the App Store and the Mac App Store have begun promoting "Editors' Choice" apps prominently on their main pages, The Verge and The Next Web noticed on Thursday. The newly-released "Facebook Camera" app was one of the apps given the title on the App Store, while the "Cobook" smart address book application got the nod on the Mac App Store.

Alongside the curated app picks, Apple also appears to have initiated a new promotion as part of its App of the Week pick. The official App Store Twitter account sent out a message on Thursday publicizing "Cut the Rope: Experiments" as an App of the Week free download. Touch Arcadereports that, as far as it can tell, this is the first promotion of this kind from Apple.

Though it's not known whether Apple will continue to offer a free application each week, offer does join several other app discounts and promotions over the long Memorial Day weekend. Big-name studios and independent developers alike have slashed the prices of their software for the holiday.

Apple presumably has more features in the works to help its customers find the right apps. Earlier this year, the company acquired Chomp, an app search engine for iPhone, iPad and Android. In April, reports emerged that Chomp was no longer functioning on Android phones.

The accuracy of app rankings on the App Store have also been an area of concern for Apple. Last year, the Top App lists underwent a reordering after the company quietly changed its ranking system. Apple warned developers against using advertising services that guarantee placement on the App Store's charts.

"Even if you are not personally engaged in manipulating App Store chart rankings or user reviews, employing services that do so on your behalf may result in the loss of your Apple Developer Program membership," the company said in a note.

Some developers have reported being approached by companies offering to use a "bot farm" to fraudulently pump up downloads for an app to push it into the App Store's Top 25 list.
